Product Description

Synopsis
Young Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case - a series of killings that has shocked even the most hardened of detectives. They started eight years ago - now the body count is up to six. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds of the girls identical - all drug-users and prostitutes. Then a seventh body is found. The modus operandi is the same - but the victim is a young student with the 'face of an angel'. The profile of the murderer has changed dramatically. Determined to earn the respect of her male colleagues, Anna stumbles on a vital piece of information which links one man to the killings, a much-loved actor on the brink of international stardom. His arrest would create a media frenzy. But if he were found innocent, his wouldn't be the only career over - Anna's hard fought for reputation would be destroyed once and for all ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! I could not put this down, 5 Sep 2005
By C. Kawczynski "Charlie" (Gloucester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The last few LLP books I have read haven't been great so I started this one with trepidation - after page 1 I was hooked! I stayed up half the night reading and blamed the fact that I had bags under my eyes on my 11 week old son. Suffice to say after doing the motherly duties, I kept on reading and had the book finished within 24 hours <i know, i know, terrible mother!>. It reminded me of Prime Suspect, LLP at her best but I felt this was better. I sincerely hope she caries on with this character as she is just great. I am already looking forward to her next book

5.0 out of 5 stars What would it be like if Robson Jerome were secretly a serial killer?, 31 Aug 2007
By Bezerus Bezby "Bez" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
No, just messin, but seriously, La Plante comes up with a fascinating plotline. A serial killer is afoot and he might just be a very well known and well liked actor. It's up to young Detective Anna Travis to get to the truth. But, is she getting too close to the suspect?

I can't really picture Hugh Grant, for example, as a serial killer, but La Plante paints a convincing picture. It took me only a morning to read this book, so hooked on it was I. Enjoy!

(If I had to put money on an actor that could turn into a serial killer, it'd probably be Brad Pitt- way too convincing in Kalifornia!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Above Suspicion, 30 Oct 2005
By David R Hanley (Broxbourne, Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This was the first book I have read from this author and very good I found it too. A very easy read and fast-moving story although finding a few legal errors were disappointing. Read it on and off over three days and would certainly read more by this author again.

A solid story about the police team hunting a serial killer. Lynda La Plante prefers credible detection and detail to melodramatic plot twists. Read more
